BMC Power Types

In order for MAAS to fully manage a node it must be able to power cycle it.
This is done via a communication channel with the BMC card of
the node's underlying system. A newly added node is therefore incomplete until
its power type has been configured. Since each BMC card is different, the
required information to provide MAAS will vary.

To configure a power type, visit the 'Nodes' page, select the node in question
and scroll down to the 'Power' section. There, you should see MAAS prompting
you to set up the power type:

Choosing the 'Edit' button will reveal a list of available power types:

Example: Virsh (KVM) power type

Consider a node backed by KVM. Below, a 'Power type' of Virsh has been
selected and the 'Power address' of qemu+ssh://ubuntu@10.248.64.2/system has
been entered (replace values as appropriate). Finally, and out of necessity for
virsh, the value of 'Power ID' is the KVM domain (guest) name, here node.
